Default It's A Sad Day :(

Everyone always told me, wow your car is low, and did you lower your car even more?

I always noticed a few lower scratches, driveways and speed bumps take their toll... and they finally won the battle



But on the happier side of things, now I HAVE to get a new lip! Yay!

I finally get the lip I want, the fake WALD

http://www.ebay.com/itm/06-08-Lexus-...item4ab272a638

Ya ya spare me the hate, OMG FAKE WALD IS FAKE! Arg Arg Arg!

Well if I'm gunna be crackin lips, I sure as hell aint spending hundreds for it haha

So Im going to get this PU lip, have em color match it, and keep the center black (so it looks like 2 pieces) all in all should cost around $300 for the lip and paint total. Ill post pics when I get it!

Oh ya and my lip isn't fixable, I've tried haha. Apparently what holds the lower lip portion on is some screws, and I rubber so much the the screws broke and so did the plastic portion where the screw was in place
